This paper surveys mesh segmentation techniques and algorithms, with a focus on part‐
based segmentation, that is, segmentation that divides a mesh (featuring a 3D object) into …

We introduce L1-medial skeleton as a curve skeleton representation for 3D point cloud data.
The L1-median is well-known as a robust global center of an arbitrary set of points. We make …

Given a shape, a skeleton is a thin centered structure which jointly describes the topology
and the geometry of the shape. Skeletons provide an alternative to classical boundary or …

This paper presents a robotic system-RoboFDM that targets at printing 3D models without
support-structures, which is considered as the major restriction to the flexibility of 3D printing …

We introduce a compact, intuitive procedural graph representation for cellular
metamaterials, which are small-scale, tileable structures that can be architected to exhibit …

In this paper, we present a consolidation method that is based on a new representation of
3D point sets. The key idea is to augment each surface point into a deep point by …

Dendritic spines form most excitatory synaptic inputs in neurons and these spines are
altered in many neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Reliable methods to …

Abstract We introduce Point2Skeleton, an unsupervised method to learn skeletal
representations from point clouds. Existing skeletonization methods are limited to tubular …

Clipart, a pre-made graphic art form, offers a convenient and efficient way of illustrating
visual content. Traditional workflows to convert static clipart images into motion sequences …

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is emerging as the main additive manufacturing
(AM) technology used to produce medium-to-large-sized thin-walled parts (order of …
